What's the October bench at the moment. Castro, Amaya/Kelly....Ballesteros and Turner?

I'm not sure how it's going to play out against RHP, but against LHP our bench is going to be stacked if we have Busch and maybe Happ on it.

Feel like they would have worked something out when they got Castro if the Cubs were in it but maybe not:

True, if theyre any talk of Ryan too , maybe they just wanted to close out the Castro deal first and could be why they only say prospects. Now they can focus on what it would take for Ryan 🤷‍♂️

So Triantos is headed out for an sp?

Neither projects as an ace, but both have had intriguing enough seasons to be possible back end of the rotation types.

Yup that's a bit of an ouch. I liked Gallagher a good bit, but it's still reasonable to me in this market.

Boob says Alcantara is staying put

[squally1313]

So why was Triantos scratched

[Jason Ross]

I'm 100% okay with the Castro trade. Armstrong was Gallagher a year ago. Gallagher is a popup. I'm fine.

Is that gonna be the swan song? We couldn't afford to compete?

Red Sox getting Dustin May

Padres getting Nestor Cortes.

Mad dash to the finish line.

Hopefully that leaves Joe Ryan for us

He's traded for some pretty good talent and the team is on its way to 95 wins. Let's wait till October to declare a swan song coming.

But the Yankees could give them Spencer Jones for Skenes. Heyman told me.

Jed got his extension. Hes not going to do anything. He built a team just good enough to make the playoffs. Like he always does. Hes the worst big market GM of all time and a coward. 

God I admire you...
